Swedish darkwave and neoclassical duo Angelic Foe return with a haunting new video, “Discordia”, a track that delves deep into the realms of ancient mysticism and divine conflict. The song is taken from their latest full-length album, “Amulets and Charms”, released on December 7th, 2024, via WormHoleDeath Records.
Megadeth Announced Final Album and Farewell Tour
Angelic Foe’s “Discordia” — A Mixture of Darkness and Divinity
Discordia feels like an invitation into a ritual — a journey through haunting ruins, moonlit landscapes, and the forgotten stones of a lost castle. The video mixes sacred symbolism with raw nature, portraying a dark lunar goddess rising amidst strife and cosmic rebirth. Rather than relying on flashy visuals, it focuses on mood and storytelling, using powerful imagery to draw listeners into a state between meditation and revelation.
At its core, Discordia carries the trademark sound Angelic Foe have built over the years — a mix of symphonic darkwave, neoclassical, and esoteric music that balances elegance and tension. The melodies are as cinematic as they are spiritual, filled with layered vocal harmonies and rich orchestration that echo the themes of ritual, nature, and transcendence. Each note feels like a part of a ceremony, one that reflects both darkness and beauty in equal measure.
The track’s release continues the album’s overarching concept. Amulets and Charms explores the idea of music as magic — every song acting as a spiritual object, a charm that holds emotion, protection, or power. The record stands as one of Angelic Foe’s most mature and cohesive works to date, with songs like “In Shadows Deep”, “Avnas”, and “Bless The Charm” expanding the same mystical atmosphere through their accompanying videos. Together, they create a world where sound, symbol, and story merge seamlessly.
The new single also reflects the duo’s consistency in crafting deeply visual and thematic art. Each Angelic Foe release is more than a collection of songs; it’s an immersive experience, complete with myth-inspired visuals and symbolic storytelling that invite interpretation. The production quality on Discordia stands out — every instrument and vocal layer feels deliberate, designed to pull the listener deeper into the band’s universe of ritual and reflection.
For long-time fans, this release continues what makes Angelic Foe unique: their ability to merge emotional sincerity with an almost cinematic sense of composition. For new listeners, Discordia offers an ideal entry point — both mysterious and accessible, carrying the same haunting charm that has defined the band’s sound since their earliest recordings.
You can stream Amulets and Charms on all major platforms, or pick up a physical CD copy through WormHoleDeath’s official store.
The Mystique Behind Angelic Foe
Billy Sheehan Remembers Pat Torpey with The Hollies’ Song
Angelic Foe is the creative partnership of vocalist Annmari Thim and composer Fredrik Hermansson, two artists known for their atmospheric and thought-provoking approach to music. Thim’s voice, recognized from her work with the legendary neoclassical project Arcana, brings an emotional, ethereal presence to every track. Hermansson, formerly of Pain of Salvation, adds a sophisticated and textural depth to the compositions, blending classical influences with ambient sound design and ritualistic rhythm.
Together, they create soundscapes that explore themes of myth, spirituality, and the unseen forces that shape human experience. Their music has often been described as both dark and divine — a sound that carries emotional weight while opening doors to imagination and reflection. Amulets and Charms continues this legacy, standing as a modern darkwave work that feels ancient in soul but contemporary in execution.
